Full question:
I live in New York , and I want to sell my Florida vacant residential land for cash to someone I know. Can I do this without a lawyer or title company? I have a form called 'Contract For The Sale And Purchase of Real Estate - No Broker - Vacant Residential Land '. It's a multi-state form. Do I need another form to pass the ownership of the deed to the buyer? Can anyone deliver the deed to the County Recorder for recording, or must a lawyer be used? If you say I should use a lawyer for any of the above, is it absolutely necessary, or just recommended?

Answer:
Generally, you do not need a lawyer to transfer property or submit a deed to the county recorder, but it's wise to have your documents reviewed by an attorney. Your sales contract should outline how the deed is delivered to the buyer and may specify any additional documents needed, such as financial documents for financing or title insurance. If title insurance is required, a title company may need to be involved. Review your contract for specific requirements.
